You know, this actually makes *more* sense than the Christian version.

 

I also propose we immediately act to test the correlate between global warming and # of pirates. ::Puts on an eyepatch and a lizard on his shoulder::

 

Cap'n Atomic Lizard. Yarrr.

They call it intelligent design to give a it a ring so when you talk about, you don't sound like a complete joke show. Its just a new name and outline for christianity's belief on how the world came to be.

Did you read the link? Or even the post?

 

I sense that you do not have faith in The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Pray with me that he shall reach down and Finger You with His Noodly Appendage!

i don't think he did. may the all powerful spaghetti monster smite him.

On a more serious note, I love how they call intelligent design "a competing theory" or an "alternate viewpoint to evolution", as if scientific theories are just dreamt up ideas that have no degree of surety behind them. Although I would rather learn flying spagetti monster theory than intelligent design anyday.

I didn't want to mention this before, but there is actually scripture about the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the Bible! There they call him Leviathan:

Psalms 74:14 "Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat[balls] to the people inhabiting the wilderness."

 

Psalms 104:26 "There go the [pirate] ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein."

[ydoaPs]

irrefutable proof of the spaghetti monster. take that, evolution!

I can never understand why you fundamental pastafarians cant credit the Flying Spagetti Monster with more patience and elegance; its entirely possible that the Flying Spagetti Monster created life over the cource of many aeons via evolution.

 

That is what we of the most-holy church of the born-again Flying Spagetti Monster witnesses sect believe: lasanum ex machina.

 

Of cource, whilst we accept evolution in general, id like to point out that, obviously, the Flying Spagetti Monster created midgets spontainiously and seperately to everything else, and created them to be immune to evolution. 'cos it is written in our holy texts.

 

Avast Ye!

 

Rev. Dak,

of the most-holy church of the born-again Flying Spagetti Monster witnesses

[ydoaPs]

what about trees?

[Dak]

We believe 'trees' to be a mistranslation of 'another midget'.

 

this claim is validated by the fact that thered have to be more than one midget in the beginning for them to reproduce. see, we are a scientifical religion.

 

Others disagree about the translation and insist that it is "trees", but to be honest theyre going to hell for refusing to acknowledge the one-true-interpretation^TM of the wrightings of the Flying Spagetti Monster.

How can I dispute the facts, I do believe in Flying Spagetti Monster!

[Bluenoise]

Hmmm I believe thier data on the pirates vs average globle temperature has been falsified. IIRC pirate numbers have actually increased!!! And temperature has stayed about the same.

[ydoaPs]

pirate numbers have increased, because our numbers have increased. it will take a while for the temp to go back down because of thermal equellibrium and such.

Rev. Dak, what is your opinoin on eating spaggeti? Is it paying homage to the creater to consume his entrails or is it wrong to consume the holy... stuff?

[Dak]

the Flying Spagetti Monster gave unto us spagetti (from his own body) for sustanance, and its entirely within his wishes that we partake of the pasta of the land.

 

But not on a tuesday afternoon.

 

Rev. Dak,

of the most-divine order of the One-True Flying Spagetti Monsterarian scientoligistical society.

[JohnB]

I have converted.

 

I shall partake of the pasta.

I shall add the herbs and spices. (But not 11 of them.)

I shall eat the mince.

 

For I have seen the light. (It's that little switch next to the oven temperature dial.)

 

Aaaaarrrrrrr, mateys.

 

PS, yourdad, the temp won't go down. Since there are more pirates, there must be more buckling of the swashes and rigging swinging.

 

As rigging swinging creates friction in the air, more pirates doing more rigging swinging = more heat. Hence the temp will rise.

[Severian]

Don't you think that equating a spagetti monster with christianity might be regarded as offensive?

 

Shall I start a similarly offensive thread about other people's beliefs in say democracy?

 

The fact of the matter is that Chritian creationism should be taught in schools, along with the saliant aspects of other major religions. It should not be taught as 'science', but an understanding of other people's beliefs is something the west could really use right now.

[Mokele]

Don't you think that equating a spagetti monster with christianity might be regarded as offensive?

 

That's part of the point. You see, ID is *supposed* to be "scientific", and the "designer" is not supposed to be any particular god, christian or otherwise (though, obviously, it *is* supposed to be Jehovah, and it's just veiled creationism).

 

By replacing the christian god with something utterly ridiculous, like the Flying Spaghetti Monster, it shows just how ridiculous the entire ID "theory" is, and how it's only *real* support and purpose is Christian creationism.

 

So, basically, it shouldn't be offensive to christians at all, unless ID isn't what they say it is, at which point they become fair game.

Aaah, so there's a method to your marinara. Judging by most creationist reasoning, I wouldn't put it pasta them.

[Mokele]

And I expressed it without using any harsh linguini

[Phi for All]

I just hope the priesthood (like Rev. Dak) don't develope any wierd fettucines, like fondling angel hair. I'm always alfredo that.

the assumption that the priesthood is perverse it tortelli unfounded (well, as long as we're soba)

That is certainly not the implication of your initial post which says [my emphasis]:

You directly link Christianity with ID and then ridicule it.
